Getting to Know Each Other
Posted on 04/17/09, 11:36 pm
Many of you know me. Some through actually talking to me on the phone, or chatting. Others through other groups. Some of you may be wondering who the heck I am, and what the heck do I know. Good questions. As for who the heck I am...
I am a 49 year old amputee who seems to wake up with a new health issue at least four times a week. I am also unemployed and living with a creature that used to be my domestic partner and now is basically my warden (self appointed), my "mother with male parts", the one who wears my good clothes and stretches them out of shape, and the person who has appointed themself my ego popper, lest I ever have the nerve to actually like myself, and be proud of doing anything. (S)he is also my greatest motivation to succeed, just to prove I CAN.
My skills are in writing, photography, crafting, cooking, and facilitating, as well as understanding people, and researching solutions. My biggest handicap is trying to make something out of absolutely nothing.

Hi all! Claudia invited me and I am probably going to be a lil more on the quiet side here as I like to read and learn and will add if/when I can! I signed up for CASH CRATE a few months back and had almost reached my goal before they will pay out a check which is $20 and I got so burnt-out! It is easy money, but it does require a lot of time and I mean irritating time lol...so I uploaded robo form to help me fill in the info quicker and that did help.....Maybe I will get back to it as they carry over your earnings !!
OH...oops I forgot to introduce myself DUH lol
I am Shannon and I have 2 kids and currently a stay at home mom which is what prompted me to look for a way to earn some extra money! I use to work as a nurse aide, and I think I did a lot of damage to my lower back in lifting people when I was younger, so I don't know what I could do out in the work force...I use to have a Children's clothing store on Ebay which I close about 2 yrs ago and I am thinking of re-opening it to help my mom as her COPD is worsening and Disability isn't enough to cover her expenses! I dunno...... -

I'm a 45 yr. old with four adult children and 2 grandchildren and one of the way. I'm in the best relationship I've ever been in finally. I've been abused in 4 marriages and divorced thank God! But never gave up on Love. God found the one I'm with and Life is getting better. I'm a cat and small dog lover. I love children. I LOVE THE LORD! I love people and want to help them or just be their friend if I can. I'm disabled since 2004. I am at home most of the time. I feel I need to get some type of income coming in from my part other than just SSI & SSDI. But disability (Anxiety) keeps getting in the way. Suggestions?
